If you have reached State Pension age and rent your home, you may be able to claim Housing Benefit from your local council. Apply through your council’s website or contact its benefits team, and provide details such as your rent, income, savings, household and National Insurance number. Your council will assess the claim under the relevant rules, including how your State Pension, Pension Credit and capital affect entitlement. If you receive Pension Credit, check whether you may qualify for help with rent and other costs through your council. You can find guidance and your council’s contact details on GOV.UK.
